The Flea Market

Last Saturday was the Flea Market. I had bought a table to sell some yard sale type items and also made some baby ties (cuz it is so hard to find ties for babies and toddlers) i didnt really decided to do it till the week before so i was working my fingers to the bone to get enough done in time. i had some cute prints and some plain ties...i figured the plain ties would sell out because they are more versatile but actually all my prints sold out and only a few of the solid colors were sold. over all though it was a great success. i am thinking about starting to sell them on etsy.com and maybe at the craft fair this summer. i have this really cute cowboy print that i didn't get finished in time that would be a big seller. 

my plate is a little full now though. i have the ensign book club this week, and i was volunteered to be in charge of helping people move out which will keep me busy the next two weeks and then after that i am doing the Share Our Strength Great American Bake Sale (will talk about it in a minute) and then after all that i will try to get the tie thing off the ground our maybe i'll try to squeeze it in.

So the bake sale: it is a charity bake sale to help stop childhood hunger in America. all the proceeds from it will go to the local community. i am really excited about it. what i'm going to do is have the usual cupcakes and brownies and stuff and then i also want to have a silent cake auction. not just regular box cakes but i'm hoping some girls in the ward will have maybe a grandmas recipe or whatever of a really great cake or pie. i'm hoping to have it the end or april or the beginning of may.
